To complete the given statement, we will begin by plotting the given pair of numbers on a number line. Note that both of the given numbers are negative, so we will move to the left from 0.
We can see that - 8 is to the right from - 8.4. Therefore, - 8 is greater than - 8.4. Recall that > is the greater than sign. Let's complete the statement.
- 8 > - 8.4
